I don’t see how it can be constitutional.
Read up on the Sherman antitrust act. Read up on the Clayton antitrust act.
There is nothing unconstitutional about what the president is doing.
Social media platforms are given immunity in regard to what posters post. If they censor the posts, then they would lose those protections since they would then be responsible for everything posted on their platforms. They can’t censor and then claim immunity since everything they don’t censor would be considered in line with their own views.
Either allow free expression or accept liability for every post.
You know, that's what they said about PT threatening states in regard to church openings.
Yet, state after state has moved to open up worship services, including by my own idiot governor, Jay Inslee.
Do not underestimate the power of the bully pulpit as wielded by PT.
Its so blatantly unconstitutional that it must be fake news. Why? Because the POTUS may only use executive orders to dictate the policies, practices, and procedures for executive departments. Facebook, Twitter,etc., are not part of the executive department, and not even a branch of government. End of story.
Public accommodation rules to apply to social media? Probably the same as whether a phone company can pull your phone service over the content of your call. But, if the content is itself a crime maybe so. Seems ok to me.
Some liken this to govt interference in private businesses.
NOTE These are not private businesses——these are publicly-held companies subject to SEC laws.
They raise money from the public and are traded on the stock exchange,
They “say” they are common carriers-—like planes, trains, cabs, buses........
Twitter is not a common carrier-——it is a publicly-held company subject to the laws of the SEC.
